well, i got this file db_update.php normal execution time for the current database size is about just over 5 minutes. all it does is it updates a few variables for each user.

The execution timeout for the new another server i'm working on is only 120 seconds. Is there a way for me to change the execution time within the script? Because it also decides wether or not to update based on a few things. i can't have it allowing a 10 minute execution for all files.
kool, thanks. ;D

Kinda off the php topic:
I was told about, by someone, that i might be able to set a Cron job for the updates... I'm using CPanel, how might i do this?
eg, all rows in table 'users' change the value of all 'credit' +1 if 'credit' isn't over 300
there is a tutorial here at phpfreaks.com for setting up cron jobs
check out:

I don't use cPanel, so i'm not sure if it has a GUI for this, but  I know that my host (using sphera) doesn't.
it has to be done through the command lins (using a SSH client like PuTTy)

The tutorial link above was pretty helpful, but not exactily compatible with my host, so I had to do some research and tweak it a bit.  Give it a try and post any questions you still have.
